Hello there,
We're Manyone, a strategic design consultancy
On this page
Since 2019, we've helped global brands transform by reimagining their businesses and designing revolutionary experiences, products, and services, seamlessly blending strategy, creativity, and technology.
Our approach
Where strategy meets execution
Businesses of today can get distracted or even paralyzed by lengthy, biased, and retrospective strategy reports with no real connection to what is happening, changing, and working out there. Sounds familiar?
The Manyone magic
At Manyone, we do it differently. By merging strategy, creativity, and technology into one approach, in one team with one purpose, and with a global outlook and local anchoring, we test innovative, well-informed ideas, get feedback, discover opportunities, and repeat. Experimental strategic processes, creative execution, and emerging tech implementation make fast, precise, and adaptable development possible.
Trusted by ambitious, global brands and local trailblazers
Hear from Annika Payn, Head of Brand Experience, KONE
Every day, from our 16 locations in 11 countries, our more than 300 strategists, designers, and technologists help businesses grow by providing a clear vision, creative problem-solving, and concrete results.
Across industries and markets, there are endless possibilities to make bold change happen, and we want to be our clients’ business partner of choice.
Why work with us?
The Manyone experience
Our clients come to us for many reasons, but the common factor is their need to move quickly in the right direction. Here's what makes their Manyone experience unique:
Nordic roots, global teams, local presence
Drawing from our Nordic heritage, we champion a unique team-of-teams structure across borders, making an impact worldwide with local resonance and cultural nuances.
Strategy led by execution
Complexity rises, and opportunities emerge faster than your strategy deck, so we find potential in hands-on insights and shape visions while building, testing, and improving tomorrow's solutions.
Bespoke processes, custom collaboration
We blend the best from Agile, Design Thinking, and new ways of working into bespoke processes. Your perfect fit is found at the intersection between team setup, ambitions, and desired outcomes.
Strategy, creativity, and technology intertwined
By mixing strategy, creativity, and technology in one seamless and fast process, we bring maximum impact to any collaboration or project.
Designing for sustainable growth
We design and innovate for growth, but caring for societies, future generations, and the planet is mandatory to excel beyond commercial prosperity.
We're global.
That's right next to you
